in my case it is a massive legacy codebase that I don’t actually control

i get very sporadic deliveries of it and I’ve version controlled them into a jank progression

the original is in clearcase with now git on top of it and my version control is in svn

there are very shitty unresolvable reasons for all of this

but this last update was especially bad as one of their new coders is super fucking OCD and rejustifying headers and footers and fucking comments, so whitespace shit in files he is not editing code in otherwise, so that is like 300-500 files not lines

i want to break a knee cap
